These women are not professional models. When you're in front of my lens it is the most rewarding experience for me—as a photographer and a woman—to reflect your beauty back at you, to make you feel and look like the true beauty that you are.

Working with Katya was an amazing experience. She put me at ease right away and revealed a side of me that I don’t normally see. Katya has a way of capturing your true essence through her photographs and I would absolutely recommend her to any woman who wants the opportunity to let her true beauty shine.

Katya is a brilliant mix of honesty from the heart. She gently guided me to share my beauty in a new way. I really felt it was a collaboration where I shared my ideas and she gave the loving perspective from the other side of the camera. My photos feel like a true representation of me. Feels amazing to have something so personal seen in such a beautiful way.

The truth about you is that you are a phenomenal photographer!

— Karla L., New York, NY

I’ve truly never had more fun in a photo shoot in my life! During our time together, I just knew Katya was going to capture some great images. Not only did I leave with some modeling secrets, six hot magazine-quality shots, I left with a new friend.

— Lori C., New York, NY

Katya’s great at bringing out and highlighting the inherent beauty in every woman. I’d work with her again, and recommend her to my women friends.

— Kim N., San Francisco, CA

You’re right about the empowering effect of photography on women—I have always been very timid when it comes to close-ups, always preferring to pose because I love to dance, but you had a nice way of directing to bring out the confidence for much closer shots!

— Lisa L., New York, NY

I tend to be a bit camera shy, so choosing a professional photographer was a bit nerve-racking. Talent alone wasn’t enough, I knew I needed a photographer that I would be comfortable around.I was so lucky to have Katya referred to me by a good friend of mine, with VERY high standards. I was in awe of the results! The shots not only captured different angles of my face, I could feel the energy behind the different looks (from a business suit to a little black dress) and most importantlyI was proud to share these pics on various media!
